I have not really found wet weather gear that truly works. A few years ago tree planting in Scotland we had to wear chemical resistant gear that was waterproof and it was extremely good, however it was far from breathable.
These days I accept I'm going to get wet and instead focus on staying warm while I do. For this I find wool layers work a treat and are quick drying. With some sort of wind break to help reduce the affect of the wind.

Gortex is brilliant stuff it's light and breathes I have a craghoppers jacket and a pair of ex army trousers

Hi Andy,
Have a look on www.meanandgreen.com i bought a pair of Gortex trousers and jacket and they have proven to be excellent however even they have struggled in a day long down pour so if your budget can stretch to it invest in two pairs. Mine so far appear to have been thorn resistant. Also if you go to any boot fairs look out for ex Army waterproofs.
Good luck
David
I'd like to know the same thing! I've been using Helly Hansen ones, not cheap but not that expensive, kind of in the middle. They do tear/get holes, and after a while they lose a bit of their effectiveness and they don't appear to be very breathable, but...they have stood the test of time far far longer than cheaper ones we have tried - and we have tried A LOT, most of which ripped within a day or 2 of wear, sometimes even just a few hours

Hi, I recommend good Golf gear. Definitely waterproof and pretty thorn resistant. Also very moveable in!
